    Summary

    Wordlessly Chengyu steps to the side, letting the dark storm cloud into his home in hopes of gaining an understanding of what is happening, or at least offer his friend some peace from whatever it is that's haunting him.

    He expects Chi Cheng to go straight for the liquor, to pull out a smoke, to do something, anything, but what he does.

    Which is to say, drop to his knees with all the grace of a bowling ball.

    Summary

    In another universe, another time, things go just a bit differently, and Donquixote Rosinante lives, albeit seriously injured and bedridden.

    But with his son refusing to speak until he gets news of the boy he'd left behind, Sengoku is forced to locate a child who turns out to be far more trouble than he was expecting before Rosinante's reticence gets him court-martialed, or worse. Hiding a precocious child with a legendary devil fruit is hard enough. Hiding one marked for death by World Government order is another thing entirely. Doing it at Marineford itself? That's just the height of folly. And yet, this is what Sengoku finds himself doing in order to keep the peace.

    But there are eyes everywhere in Marineford, and not everyone can be put off by a protective Admiral. Politics are well and truly alive in the fortress, and someone is always looking for an angle to exploit. The clock is ticking, and one wrong move might mean the end of a career--or a life.

    Summary

    “You think I’m smart?” Yushi asks.

    “I do,” Daeyoung insists, and he sounds earnest. Yushi does not know many people who are earnest. He can see it on their faces - the way they judge him, size him up, try to figure out what box he deserves to fit into. Are you enough of a man, Tokuno Yushi? Have you proved yourself yet? Have you mutilated your body, taken your shots, trained your voice to go deep?

    “You’re the only person to say these things about me,” Yushi mumbles.

    A normal person would be puking and gagging and telling him to shut up. And yet Tokuno Yushi - who is not the type to blush, let alone at something a man says - feels his cheeks go crimson as something in him aches, aches, aches.

    But Daeyoung shrugs and smiles. “Hyung,” he says, voice low. “I think you’re amazing."

    -

    Tokuno Yushi works at a noraebang with his puppy-like coworker who has this vague obsession with him and he, like, doesn't even care. There is no time for romance, let alone when Kim Daeyoung is the size of a tree and annoying. Because that's what he is. Annoying. And hot. But mostly annoying.

    So it doesn't even matter, really. Because Yushi does not have a crush. Not even a little bit.

    Summary

    “You can take it,” Suowei says against his parted lips.

    It doesn’t feel good, exactly, but it’s not bad either. Mainly it’s Suowei’s confidence that’s getting him going, making his thighs tremble and his stomach muscles jump. His cock’s hard against his stomach now, Suowei stroking it with his other hand, and that’s good and he feels full and oh god something’s happening—

    Satisfaction glints in Suowei’s eyes. “Gotcha.”

    An ache steadily builds inside Chi Cheng, pleasure and pain, like the moment a knot of tension in your back is released. Before he knows it, there’s lightning pulsing in the root of his cock and the base of his spine, and he lets out a broken, “A-ah!”

    His insides flutter softly around Suowei’s fingers.

    Okay, fuck no.

    Suowei extracts a promise from Chi Cheng to let him top. He gets to collect... eventually.

    Summary

    “Chengyu,” Jiang Xiaoshuai asks, lying beside him in their bed, trailing the fingers of one hand up along Guo Chengyu’s sternum, “how did you really feel about Chi Cheng back then?” 

    There is no need to specify what he means when he says, ‘back then.’ Guo Chengyu blinks and the world falls away and all at once he is 23 years old, he is in Chi Cheng’s arms, they are both drunk, and he is learning that he doesn’t like kissing his best friend in front of that treacherous boy and his phone. Kissing Chi Cheng is not a spectacle for Wang Shuo’s amusement. It’s not for Wang Shuo at all. It’s not dirty, or scandalous, or wrong, the way he makes it feel. It’s private. It’s… 

    29 year old Guo Chengyu rolls his eyes at Jiang Xiaoshuai and forces his muscles to relax. “You’re not still anxious about those old video clips, are you? We were young and stupid, and we liked to drink too much. Nothing that happened back then matters. It’s not important.”

    “It doesn’t feel unimportant.” 

    They are just. So. God damned weird about each other I cannot take it. So here we are. 🫠
